XP from monsters for whole party?

[Aexrael]

In the base game monsters give XP only to party members which successfully deal damage, is this hardcoded in the engine or is it something like monsters are coded that way and it could be overwritten via scripts?

Easily doable with custom onDie hook

Good to know, thanks Petri.

Hey, I managed to get a working script for this.

Code: Select all

-- Fixed EXP monsters
cloneObject
{
	name = "snail",
	baseObject = "snail",
	exp = 0,
	onDie = function(self, dir)
		party:getChampion(1):gainExp(60)
		party:getChampion(2):gainExp(60)
		party:getChampion(3):gainExp(60)
		party:getChampion(4):gainExp(60)
	end
}

I ran into one minor issue though. When a monster is killed, the "+ XP" display in-game will show up as 0 because it's still attached to the exp = function.



Is there a better way to write my script, or a way to get a hook on the "+ XP" in-game display?

Try this

Code: Select all

cloneObject
{
   name = "snail",
   baseObject = "snail",
   exp = 0,
   onDie = function(self, dir)
      for i=1,4 do
      party:getChampion(i):gainExp(60)
      end
   end,
}

Edit:
While that does clean up my code a bit, it still doesn't solve that display issue.
